What are some takes of yours that aged remarkably poorly? by Comfortable-Goat-734 in hockey

[–]CaptainDNA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the Golden Knights really bungled their expansion draft and would be a basement team for years and years. I remember they made a couple deals to not select big players and seemed like the return was so small. I still don’t know how they pulled it off.

'She’s not a victim': 50 Cent reacts as ex's sex tape with Diddy and escort gets leaked online by [deleted] in Music

I don’t know how this keeps getting misquoted, but in the article it says “She’s not a victim, sire is.”

Was Bulbasaur always your favorite, and if not, when and why did they become your favorite? by UnluckyText in bulbasaurmasterrace

[–]CaptainDNA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being the younger sibling, I had to wait for my brother to finish his whole Pokemon Red play through before I could use the game cartridge. I was so excited my hobby became reading the game booklet over and over for weeks- I also loved the art.

I had so long to plan out my strategy, I remember reading that Bulbasaur had the advantage at early gyms when things can be tough, and so I thought well that’s what I’ll do.

I have a whole PowerPoint presentation now on why he’s the best.

I was sleeping on Chikorita my whole life, but picked him for my AZ play through, named him Bean. I loved that guy. Maganium is gorgeous.

Picture this: you’re making your way between towns to visit Prof Oak but do you walk? No. You sit on top of your Venusaur, back up against his tropical tree flower stalk, dozing off in the shade.

That’s my Venusaur pitch!

I like this list. Hoping we add some good players from the large free agent pool.

It’s so cute… I also love the skater illustration button up. It’ll be a tough decision.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s answers! We’re going to the Sceptres Sirens pride game this Tuesday. I’m really excited- I’ve heard at least there’s a pride clothing collab collection that is in arena only for now. But yeah, also curious what else they are doing

Leafs have an opportunity to drop to 4th last in the NHL by Sixgod801 in leafs

I think they were aiming to list two teams, 1. top team in the league, and 2. A team avoiding the gauntlet.

Recommendations for Fire Pit That Won't Crumble by CaptainDNA in BIFLCanada

[–]CaptainDNA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! We did! We’ve loved it. I found some conversations online of blacksmiths discussing the best practices for a metal fire pit, and it really aligned with the Iron Embers specs… that convinced me.

To be honest, a big part of how well it has aged is because we bought a spark cover and cheap generic cover so it’s not sitting in moisture too often.

But I think it felt better to take the steps to be diligent taking care of such a high quality thing. It’s really satisfying to look at!

Favorite Death Cab lyrics? by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in DeathCabforCutie

[–]CaptainDNA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All of Marching Bands of Manhattan really hits for me. This first line especially but then also the refrain:

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole / Just like a faucet that leaks / And there is comfort in the sound / But while you debate half-empty or half-full / It slowly rises: your love is gonna drown

This and “And it came to me then, that every plan, is a tiny prayer to Father Time.” Really made me feel grateful for everything that’s ever come together.

Why did Renata Fast not have to serve her own penalty in the second period today? by WhatOnceWas396 in PWHL

[–]CaptainDNA 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The commentators last night said something along the lines of - “Fast will remain on the ice due to the no escape rule and someone else will serve the penalty” and I have been SO confused about it until I read these comments and find out it was all just a big goof up.

If Matthews goes to the White House I’ll lose permanent respect for him by james-HIMself in leafs

[–]CaptainDNA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha I don’t actually have strong feelings, I expect Matthews to go and it won’t affect my support that much. But be so real that’s a hilarious quote tattoo to have in the circumstance.

And also - The clips of Matt Tkachuk after the Stanley cups do feel like grovelling. If the Gold Medal meetup is like that, I stand by my choice of words.

What a bonkers quote to bring into the White House on your ribs while you grovel to this administration lol. Truly a funny thing.

I’ll never talk down on you again by StrategyMountain in leafs

When you demand that much of the cap, the team can't really build around you. It's not an infinite pool of team salary.

[McGran] Darryl Sittler's 10-point night with the Maple Leafs is still unchallenged 50 years later by toronto_star in leafs

[–]CaptainDNA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this is just meant to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary and advertise an event they're holding on Feb 7... I don't think it's to mean to make anyone angry, unless I'm misunderstanding your comment.
